    About this ebook

    International authorities from Canada, Denmark, England, Germany, Russia and South Africa focus on research on fractal geometry and the best practices in software, theoretical mathematical algorithms, and analysis. They address the rich panoply of manifold applications of fractal geometry available for study and research in science and industry: i.e., remote sensing, mapping, texture creations, pattern recognition, image compression, aeromechanical systems, cryptography and financial analysis. Economically priced, this important and authoritative reference source for research and study cites over 230 references to the literature, copiously illustrated with over 320 diagrams and photographs. The book is published for The Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, co-sponsored with The Institute of Physics and The Institution of Electrical Engineers.

      The Quantum Mechanics of Fate: How time travel might explain some of science’s biggest puzzles.

      Jan 30, 2014

      The objective world simply is, it does not happen,” wrote mathematician and physicist Hermann Weyl in 1949. From his point of view, the universe is laid out in time as surely as it is laid out in space. Time does not pass, and the past and future are

      Diamond Probe Reveals Electricity in Graphene

      May 9, 2017

      A quantum probe based on an atomic-sized “color center” in diamonds has let researchers observe the flow of electric currents in graphene. Made up of a lattice of carbon atoms only one atom thick, graphene is a key material for the electronics of the

      What You’re Doing Right Now Is Proof of Quantum Theory

      Nov 24, 2021

      Nobody understands quantum mechanics,” Richard Feynman famously said. Long after Max Planck’s discovery in 1900 that energy comes in separate packets or quanta, quantum physics remains enigmatic. It is vastly different from how things work at bigger

      Tiny ‘Hashtags’ Could Catch Majorana Quasiparticles

      Nov 21, 2017

      New research describes how to coax “hashtag”-shaped nanowires into generating Majorana quasiparticles. These quasiparticles are exotic states that if realized, can be used to encode information with very little risk of decoherence—one of quantum comp

      Apr 14, 2023

      Imagine an electron as a spherical cloud of negative charge. If that ball were ever so slightly less round, it could help explain fundamental gaps in our understanding of physics, including why the universe contains something rather than nothing. Giv
